The idea would be - if I understand Horst correctly - to
consolidate them into XML-RPC services only.

There I can see your suggestions for crash
recovery/disconnected operation fit in nicely. When the
service detects that the database cannot be reached it can
store data somewhere else. The client does not know or care.
Conversely, when the client crashes the service can save
client-related data state.
